Balance, keep it all in balance
When I sway too far to one side it all tumbles down
Balance, keep me in balance
I'm so prone to lean just one way, I need to be rounded out
Is there even grace without truth
What comfort can be found in blind hope or wishful thinking
And what becomes of truth without grace
Since we know we're all messed up, it's one piece of bad news after another
Oooooo
Can love even exist without justice
If love protects then it must draw a line between right and wrong
And what's the use of justice without love
We condemn the bad guys then wake up one day to find that we're no better
Balance, keep it all in balance
When I sway too far to one side it all tumbles down
Balance, keep me in balance
I'm so prone to lean just one way, I need to be rounded out
When the threat we fear is always over there
We're gonna run too far the other way
And if we're not careful, we'll wake up at home
In a whole new different kind of wrong
Oooooo
Balance, keep it all in balance
When I sway too far to one side it all tumbles down
Balance, keep me in balance
I'm so prone to lean just one way, I need to be rounded out
Oooooo

On God Alone

Ooooo
My soul, wait silently
For God alone
My salvation and my stronghold are
In God alone
Put aside my restless thoughts for now
Oh my soul, be still
And set your sights
On God alone
God alone
Ooooo
How long will this trial last
Oh, my soul
How long will human pride prevail
Oh, my soul
But my fortress is in God alone
My mighty rock
My refuge is
In God alone
God alone
For God alone is my source of hope
To God alone I can pour out my heart
My victory and honor depend
On God alone
God alone
Ooooo
My soul, wait silently
For God alone
My salvation and my stronghold are
In God alone
On God alone

Remain in Your Love
04:49

|
My self-awareness comes and goes
Sometimes I have a bad attitude
Now and then I'm controlled by my mood
But I remain loved by You
I remain loved by You
I don't always sense Your presence with me
My feelings of hope ebb and flow
My shouts of praise are often too few
But I remain loved by You
I remain loved by You
And oh, to remain in Your love
Is my highest calling, my deepest desire
And oh, the distractions of life
They hijack my mind from the things above
That I remain in Your love
I remain in Your love
Some days I wake up exhausted
I don't always treat my body that well
I spend time in prayer but don't feel renewed
But I remain loved by You
I remain loved by You
And oh, to remain in Your love
Is my highest calling, my deepest desire
And oh, the distractions of life
They hijack my mind from the things above
That I remain in Your love
I remain in Your love
My mind tends to wander toward worthless things
I once was a wise man but now I'm a fool
Why is it so hard to believe what's true
That I remain in Your love
I remain in Your love
And oh, to remain in Your love
Is my highest calling, my deepest desire
And oh, the distractions of life
They hijack my mind from the things above
That I remain in Your love
I remain in Your love
I remain in Your love
I remain in Your love

Darkness/Beauty

Everywhere I look, I see darkness, I see beauty
I see light, and Your glory, and Your great redemptive story
Everywhere I look, I see manipulation
I see captives finding freedom, grateful people as You lead them
There is no one who does good, all are corrupt
There is no one who seeks God
I will put my hope in Your name
For it is good, it is good
I will put my hope in Your name
For it is good, it is good
Everyone I see is drawn to evil, stained by lying
Why, oh why, am I just like them as my tongue brings forth destruction
Everyone I see has a Maker, has a judge
Oh God You made them in Your image
In Your unrelenting love
There is no one who does good, all are corrupt
There is no one who seeks God
I will put my hope in Your name
For it is good, it is good
I will put my hope in Your name
For it is good, it is good
Lord, You have my trust and my thanks
Forever, forever
Lord, You have my trust and my thanks
Forever, forever
Everybody's looking for some meaning, for their purpose
But every story has an author, we're just clay, we need a potter
We've all got desires burning in us hot like fires
They can rule us, they can guide us, they plant deceptions inside us
There is no one who does good, all are corrupt
And there is no one who seeks God
I will put my hope in Your name
For it is good, it is good
I will put my hope in Your name
For it is good, it is good
Lord, You have my trust and my thanks
Forever, forever
Lord, You have my trust and my thanks
Forever, forever
Forever
